There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
I found the record of the 678 cm croc from the Orinoco, not the orginal source, but some secondary sources that accepted it.

None of them actually corroborate the record, they just accept it. Finally, this is the original souce, but I could not found it:

However, we must remember what not all people accept it, Dr Britton for example, and as there is no physical evidence, skull or even a picture to suport it, I can't accept it, just like many of the old "giant" tigers, lions, snakes and gorillas in the old records.
This is just my point of view, you can accept it of course, but I advise you to have your reserves about it, and at least take it like a" grain of salt".
